2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Always prioritize safety when operating power tools and accessories. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in serious injury.

• Brug personlige værnemidler (PPE): Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and a dust mask when drilling. Gloves are recommended for grip and protection.
• Værktøjskompatibilitet: Ensure the drill bit is compatible with your rotary hammer drill. The DW5540 features an SDS+ shank and is designed for SDS+ chucks only.
• Sikkert arbejdsemne: Always secure the material you are drilling into to prevent movement during operation.
• Efterse før brug: Før hver brug skal borekronen kontrolleres for tegn på skader, revner eller overdreven slitage. Brug ikke beskadigede bor.
• Undgå overophedning: Lad borekronen køle af med jævne mellemrum under længere tids brug for at forhindre overophedning, hvilket kan reducere borets levetid.
• Ryd affald: The four-flute design helps clear debris, but ensure the work area remains clear of obstructions.

3. Opsætning

Korrekt installation af borehovedet er afgørende for sikker og effektiv boring.

1. Vælg den korrekte bit: Ensure you are using the DEWALT DW5540 1/2-inch SDS+ drill bit for your specific application.
2. Clean the Shank: Wipe the SDS+ shank of the drill bit clean to remove any dust or debris. A small amount of grease can be applied to the shank for smoother insertion and removal, and to reduce wear.
3. Insert into Rotary Hammer: Pull back the collar on your SDS+ rotary hammer drill's chuck. Insert the drill bit shank into the chuck until it clicks into place.
4. Bekræft engagement: Release the collar and gently pull on the drill bit to ensure it is securely locked. There will be a small amount of play, which is normal for SDS+ systems.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

Follow these steps for optimal performance and longevity of your drill bit.

1. Markér boreplacering: Clearly mark the precise location where you intend to drill.
2. Placer boremaskinen: Hold borehammeren fast med begge hænder. Placer borehovedets spids direkte over det markerede punkt.
3. Begynd at bore: Begin drilling at a low speed to create a pilot indentation, then increase to the appropriate speed for your material. Apply steady, firm pressure. Do not force the drill.
4. Bevar en lige vinkel: Keep the drill bit perpendicular to the surface to ensure a straight hole and prevent bit breakage.
5. Ryd affald: The four-flute design of the DW5540 efficiently removes debris. For deep holes, periodically withdraw the bit slightly to further aid in chip removal.
6. Monitor varme: If the bit becomes excessively hot, pause drilling and allow it to cool.
7. Færdiggør hullet: Fortsæt med at bore, indtil den ønskede dybde er nået.
8. Træk bitten ud: Once the hole is complete, slowly withdraw the drill bit from the hole while the drill is still rotating.

5. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance extends the life of your drill bit and ensures consistent performance.

• Rensning: After each use, clean the drill bit to remove concrete dust and debris. A wire brush can be used for the flutes, and a cloth for the shank.
• Smøring: Periodically apply a small amount of SDS+ chuck grease to the shank of the bit to reduce friction and wear in the rotary hammer chuck.
• Opbevaring: Opbevar borekronen et tørt sted for at forhindre rust. Opbevar den i den originale emballage eller i en dedikeret borekronetuiet for at beskytte hårdmetalspidsen mod skader.
• Inspektion: Regularly inspect the carbide tip for chipping or excessive wear. A worn or damaged tip will reduce drilling efficiency and can lead to bit breakage.
